The Family and The Gifts

"GUMBALL!" Nicole yelled angrily after she enters her house from a long day of work. Her house is completely wrecked while her son Gumball is smiling sheepishly in front of her.

"Explain this, NOW!" Nicole yelled, making Gumball shiver in fear. He tried to find out the right words to calm his mother and not getting in trouble again.

Finally Gumball found the greatest most believable excuse ever deep inside his mind. He took one deep breath to prepare himself. "You see mom, I was just cleaning the house like a responsible child I am. And then suddenly in the news channel, I saw a meteor descending from the sky to destroy our home. Luckily I still have my: Super-awesome-psychic-powers-that-you-don`t-know-about-so-please-don`t-ask-about-it. Using that power I repelled the meteor back to the outer space, but in doing so I accidentally trash the living room. Sorry, it`s for the greater good." Gumball said, telling his mother the most illogical and ridiculous tale/excuse.

Nicole did a double take on the living room. The floor is cracked and full of giant foot prints of who knows what, The walls have so many holes that there are more holes on the wall than the wall itself, The furniture like sofa, table, TV, lamps, and even the sink are destroyed beyond repair. The only thing that remained untouched is the stairs and the second floor.

It is nothing but a miracle that the house is still standing.

There was a long uncomfortable silence as Gumball is bracing himself for another rant from his mother. But after waiting for 30 seconds, it never came. He swallowed his breath before slowly dares himself to look at her face.

He regret every seconds of it.

Nicole Watterson is staring at Gumball with a glare that can send every citizens of Elmore bowing in fear. Not even the Rexes or Hector can look at her face without cowering in fear.

Her usual light blue fur turned dark blue. Her whiskers turned into thick black streaks while her eyes are narrowed and literally glowing white. If you look much closer to her eyes, you could see ghostly images of poor souls suffering in the flames of fury.

Gumball has seen this face before. But the last time he saw this face, he was outside the line of fire and her target is more than one person. The day that his father lost control of his own party and citizens of Elmore taking over his house. Nicole just stared at them with that same glare and they all start cleaning the whole house.

But right now that same glare is directed to him, the power focused only to his being. He never knew how he still manages to stay conscious.

"I give you 15 minutes to clean everything before I give you a lesson you will never forget." Nicole said in a deep dark voice that should have belonged to a demon rather than a working mother.

Gumball just nodded silently, he watched his mother walk up to her room upstairs. After he was sure she is out of sight, Gumball let out a deep breath in relieve.

He looked at the living room once again before wondering how in the world he is going to clean this up. 'Where is that sucker fish when you need him?' He thought to himself.

As if on cue, the front door opened, revealing Darwin and Anais just arrived after a walk in the park. Each of them holding an Ice Cream cone and happily licking it.

"Oh, hi Gumball! We were just at the park, we watched the Elmore cheerleader squad practicing on an open field while eating ice cream together. We had so much fun Gumball." Darwin said innocently with a big smile and wide eyes.

"Penny is there too, isn`t she?" Gumball said, fearing the worst. He promised Penny that he will watch every single one of her performance. Disappointing her is the last thing he want to do.

"Yup, she is practicing there with her friends. For a peanut she is pretty agile." Darwin replied, not noticing Gumball`s crushed expression. "She asked me where you are, I said you`re having a private party the house." Darwin added, while Gumball is literally melting in guilt.

Right next to Darwin, Anais is giggling childishly at Gumball`s misfortune. She knew what just happened to him.

"Enough about our day, what about yours?" Anais said with a smirk on her face.

"It`s great, 'The Most Dangerous Persons in Elmore Party' was a huge success. Now I know who is the most dangerous of all and the most powerful person." Gumball said with a fake smile. He remembered all of the contestant fleeing the house before the winner could enter the house.

"Let me guess, it`s mom right?" Anais asked with a mischievous smile on her face. She knew that would probably happen. That`s why she dragged Darwin for a walk at the park.

"You already knew it would happen don`t you?" Gumball said in defeat. He is sure that her sister is a psychic, how else does she know everything that may happen.

"No Gumball, I am not a psychic. The reason I knew everything is because I can use logic to predict everything." Anais said suddenly, surprising Gumball.

'Did she just read my mind?' Gumball thought to himself. "No Gumball, I cannot read your mind." Anais said suddenly, reassuring Gumball that his sister is a psychic.

Before Gumball could say anything, Anais already walked up to her room, leaving Gumball with Darwin in the chaotic living room. 12 minutes passed by and there is only 3 minutes left to clean the house.

"Darwin, can you please help me clean this place." Gumball asked Darwin, while he just smiled and saluted him. "Anything for you Mr. President." Darwin said.

"How are you going to clean this place anyway?" Gumball asked Darwin. He knew that by working together and hard work, anything is possible. But there is only three minutes left to clean the house.

"It`s easy, I`m part sucker fish." Darwin replied, making some sucking noise. While Gumball just stared at him with curiosity. Wondering what Darwin being part sucker fish have to do with anything.

Then Darwin walked all around the living room and start sucking everything. He sucked all of the rubble, pile of junks, and somehow sucked the foot prints out of the floor.

Then he walked in front of all the holes on the wall and cracks on the floor. He spits out everything in his mouth, the rubbish, junks, and rubble. They were all somehow molded into floor tiles and quick dry cement.

After a few seconds the house is clean of any kinds of holes, cracks, and scratches. Now it is time for Darwin to repair the furniture.

First he sucked up a wrecked TV, and then he spits it out good as new. Easy as that he does the same thing to the sofa, table, chair, lamps, and closets.

Finally everything is back to how it supposed to be. "There you go Gumball, everything is back to how it supposed to be!" Darwin said, rubbing his cheek a little.

Gumball couldn`t believe what he is seeing. He rubbed his eyes once to make sure he is not dreaming. After he`s sure he`s not dreaming, Gumball spontaneously hugged Darwin with tears of joy and relief.

"Thank you – thank you – thank you! You are the best goldfish in the whole world!" Gumball said, hugging Darwin tighter and tighter, almost suffocating him.

"Gum-ball, I c-can`t breathe, you-you`re blocking my gills a-and my nose…" Darwin gasped, struggling to get free.

Gumball quickly let go of his brother and smiled sheepishly. "Sorry Darwin, I got carried away."

"That`s okay Gumball, and what do you mean by the best goldfish ever?" Darwin asked with a flat expression on his face.

"You are the best pet fish and step brother anyone could ever wish for!" Gumball replied spontaneously. He really don`t want to have another argument with Darwin, an angry mother is enough.

"Okay… I`ll take that as a compliment." Darwin replied unsure.

"Good, now I`m going to watch TV." Gumball said finally. He walked to the newly repaired sofa and sat on it. Slowly his father`s genes took over, he starts literally becoming one with the sofa.

He turned on the TV and starts changing the channel looking for something nice to watch.

"Action channel… Warriors of Atlantis, News channel… Dolphin conservation program, shopping channel… Aquariums and undersea decoration, education channel… 101 facts about reefs." Gumball muttered to himself. "Something fishy is going on here." He said, wondering why every channel is about fish and ocean.

Suddenly he felt someone sit beside him. It was Darwin, "How about The Warriors of Atlantis?" Darwin said, wanting to watch something rather than blindly changing the channel every second.

"Sure, there`s nothing better actually. Just promise me you will stay clam." Gumball said, not realizing that he just said clam instead of calm.

"Gumball, did you mean 'calm'. Why did you say clam?" Darwin asked. Gumball raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Did I? I didn`t noticed, are you lure?" Gumball said, misspelling his words once again.

"You did it again!" Darwin said pointing accusingly at Gumball who just stared at Darwin in confusion.

"Stop squidding around Darwin! I`m dolphinately not speaking fish." Gumball replied still clueless as ever.

"But you just said squidding instead of kidding and dolphinately instead of definitely" Darwin replied, getting freaked out by Gumball`s fish puns.

"Darwin I trout you to stay clam, so please be quiet." Gumball said, getting annoyed by Darwin`s behavior.

Darwin`s eyes twitched a little before he mutely watched the Warriors of Atlantis. Hoping Gumball would stop saying fish puns after the TV shows ends.

Suddenly sounds of footsteps start descending from the stairs. Gumball watched in horror as he saw Nicole stepping down the stairway. She wore black shades on her face. He swore he could see his mother`s left eye glows red.

"Darwin, please don`t tell Termominator that you just clean the house all by yourself. She would krill me." Gumball said, begging Darwin not to tell Nicole that he just cleaned the living room all by himself.

"Not if you keep talking fish puns." Darwin said, crossing his arms, and looked away. He really didn`t want to do this to his brother, but he is getting irritated by his Fish Puns.

"Holy crab Darwin! What the eel are you talking about?" Gumball yelled in response, unknowingly making another fish puns.

"All right that`s it! I`m telling Termominator." Darwin said in frustration. He ran towards the stairway, stopping Nicole in her Termominator mode. He made himself as cute and innocent as possible.

"Darwin Watterson, species fish. Please state your business." Termominator said. Her left eye glows red for a few seconds.

"I-it was horrible Mrs. Mom; Gu-Gumball forced me to clean the house all by myself, while he just sit back and relax while watching Warriors of Atlantis on TV." Darwin said, while Termominator`s visor glows red and she looked at Gumball.

"Gumball Watterson, species cat. Orders: Termominate." She said while Gumball is practically melting in fear. He is still one with the sofa and it is very hard for him to get free.

There is only one thing to do in a time like this…

He put his hand in to his pocket and pulled out a piece of tinfoil paper. This is the same tinfoil from The Helmet. The same helmet that has been bringing him good luck and also torn his family apart. The same Helmet that he, Anais, and Darwin destroyed for good.

He still had three pieces of tinfoil paper left. One tinfoil paper only bails him out of one situation. He have used two of them and the one he`s holding on is the last one. He swore to himself that he will use this only in an emergency situation.

Considering that there is an angry mother staring at him right behind him, he`s pretty sure that this is an emergency.

He put the tinfoil paper right on top of his head. Hoping that the tinfoil paper still worked

Suddenly he felt a whole lot safer, like the universe itself is guarding him from any kinds of trouble. He felt invincible; suddenly the Termominator behind him does not bother him at all.

Just before Nicole was about to strike Gumball and ground him for a month, she heard the sound of a doorbell, which suspiciously sounded like ship horn.

In a few seconds, Nicole opened her shades while she stopped her left eye from glowing red. She still glared at Gumball but she quickly put on a smile to welcome her guest properly.

She opened the door and she couldn`t believe her eyes. Standing right in front of her is a man she haven`t seen for almost 12 years.

"Hello kitten, how are you?" The man said. Unlike anyone else in Elmore he is human. He has light brown skin, black hair, and obsidian black eyes. He wore a silver blue jacket over a white T-shirt, a white grey headphone, a long jean, and a white fedora. He is carrying a giant bag behind his back that makes him look bigger than Richard, even though he only stood a little bit taller than Nicole.

"Da-dad?! Y-you didn`t tell you`re coming?" Nicole stuttered awkwardly. She saw him staring at her with the same warm smile and a mischievous glint in his eyes. Even though he`s very old, he looks like someone in his early 20s.

"I didn`t? Boy, I am getting forgetful. Anyway, how`s life?" Nicole`s father replied casually. He looked at Nicole for a few second, trying to notice anything different since 12 years ago.

"Life`s good, I have three child now. An adopted son, a son, and a daughter. Come in; let me introduce you to the rest of the family." Nicole said, welcoming her father to come in.

Meanwhile on the sofa, Gumball is rubbing his hands while chuckling evilly. "With this power, I am in-Fin-cible!" He said, rubbing the tinfoil paper on top of his head.

Gumball saw his mother`s father looking at him. Usually he would be scared if someone like his mother`s parent is staring at him. But now that he has the power of The Helmet, he is scared of nothing

"You know, that thing would only bail you out once right?" Nicole`s father said to Gumball. Staring at the tinfoil on top of Gumball`s head.

Right after Nicole`s dad said that, Gumball suddenly felt his tinfoil`s power gone. Now he is pretty much vulnerable. 'Damn my lack of self-preservation.' He thought to himself.

"How did you know…?" Gumball asked nervously. He is so scared right now that he somehow stopped speaking fish.

"Don`t be scared kid, I`m not like your mother. She can be a real dragon sometimes." Nicole`s dad replied.

Suddenly he instinctively ducked from a plume of fire that was about to burn him to crisp. "Like I said, real dragon." He repeated, pointing at Nicole who has plumes of fire rising out of his mouth and eyes.

Then he dropped his giant bag near the sofa and sat right beside Gumball. "Would you call everyone else kitten, I need to talk with Gumball here." He said, taking out a little gift box from his bag.

"Sure dad, let me get Darwin, Anais, and Richard." Nicole said, walking upstairs. She glared at Gumball for a few seconds before she went upstairs to call everyone.

"Um hi Grandpa, where have you been?" Gumball asked awkwardly. He looked cautiously at his grandpa, trying to find any kinds of similarity between him and her mother. "Nah, just traveling around the world. Gallivanting here and there." He replied with a carefree and lax expression on his face.

So far, there is nothing similar between his mother and grandfather. Without a second thought, he asked "Are you really my grandpa? You don`t look like my mom."

Gumball thought about what he just said. He cursed himself for not thinking straight. "Forget what I just said, my brain needs to have a lesson in manners." Gumball said.

"Of course, your mom is a cat and I`m a human. I`m your step grandpa." He said warmly. He heard sounds of footsteps coming from the stairs. He saw a very interesting sight.

Two bunnies, a cat, and a goldfish are walking down the stairs. They all watched Gumball and Nicole`s father in curiosity.

"Come on everyone sit, there is still a lot of room for everyone." The human said. He snapped his fingers and suddenly a bright flash of light came from his hand. When the light dies down, the sofa lengthens, and giving more room for the Watterson to sit in.

Gumball, Darwin, Richard, and Anais watched in amazement as they saw the sofa lengthens in a matter of seconds.

'My grandpa is AWESOME' Gumball thought to himself.

'The god of sofa and comfort is my father in law!' Richard thought with stars in his eyes.

'Did he just break the laws of reality with a snap of his hand?!' Anais thought in disbelief.

'I think it`s nice to have another member in the family. He seems to be kind enough.' Darwin thought, not at all bothered by the fact that his grandpa just bends the reality itself.

"Dad, please don`t show off. I don`t think Elmore could handle your power." Nicole said in a little bit of worry. She knew that her grandpa is not just a normal person. He teaches her to be the strongest being in Elmore.

"You`re no fun kitten, come on sit. Let`s introduce ourselves." He replied easily, while everyone sat on the sofa with him. "All right, let`s start with Gumball here. Tell us your name, likes, dislikes, and dreams for the future." He said, urging Gumball to introduce himself.

"Whale…" Gumball started, he swore he saw Darwin eyes turned into slits after he said that. "Whale, my name is Gumball Tristoper Watterson. I`m the eldest of the Watterson`s family. My likes are my friends, my family, Penny, Darwin, video games, and adventures. My dislikes are Shopping Channel, 2.000.000 years old baboon, hairy slug, detention, and physics." Gumball said, thinking about his dreams for the future.

'I can`t tell grandpa that my dreams for the future is to live happily ever after with Penny.' Gumball thought to himself. He saw a devilish smile on his sister`s face and he realized what is about to happen.

"Gumball`s dream for the future is to live happily ever after with his girlfriend, Penny Fitzgerald." Anais said while Gumball is trying to restrain himself from strangling his sister.

"NO! My dream for the future is to be a super hero! Yes that`s right a super hero, with real super powers." Gumball said in denial. He looked his grandpa, hoping that he believe him.

"Sure Gumball, I believe you. Next is the walking fish." Nicole`s father said, pointing at Darwin

"My name is Darwin Raglan Caspian Ahab Poseidon Nicodemius Watterson III. I am a goldfish who grew legs. I like my family, my friends, Gumball, ocean, adventuring with Gumball, and my fish bowl. My dislikes are… Fish puns maybe? I don`t know, I don`t think hating something could make your life better." Darwin said, while everyone just smiled at his wise and heartwarming words.

"My dream for the future is to live a happy life with my wonderful family and maybe help Gumball on his path to be super hero." Darwin said with an innocent and cheerful smile on his face.

"You`re a sweet one aren`t you? Do me a favor, don`t ever change Darwin. I like you the way you are." Nicole`s Father said with a mysterious smile on his face that make everybody but Nicole thinking.

Darwin just smiled widely in response; he is feeling very special when he uttered those words. 'You just made me feel important.' Darwin thought to himself with that permanent smile plastered on his face.

"All right next is… This cute little prodigy." The only human said, indicating Anais to introduce herself.

"All right, my name is Anais and I`m 4 years old. My likes are my family, my friends, physics, subjects, school, and my teachers. My dislikes are bullies, puzzles, Gumball`s idiocy, and people who kept mistaken me as a baby." Anais said, while her grandpa just stared at her with a calculating look on his face.

"My dream for the future is to find the lost knowledge of Elmore." Anais said with conviction. Everyone in the family just stared at her in confusion.

"Okay… that`s enlightening. Next is Richard, and please don`t do whatever it is you`re thinking right now" The Human said, looking at Richard who just look down in disappointment.

"Well, my name is Richard Watterson and…" Richard tried to say, trying to remember what he is supposed to do next. "Tell him your likes and dislikes." Nicole whispered Richard.

"Oh yeah, I like Darwin, Nicole, Gumball, Anais, food, TV, sofa, and games. I dislike Nicole when she`s angry, The Internet, chores, and Miss Simian." Richard said, listing of everything he can think of.

"My dream for the future is to find a job so Nicole could be proud of me." Richard said, unintentionally charming Nicole with his dream for the future. "Richard that is very sweet of you. But you don`t need to find a job to make me proud. Just always be here with your family is enough." Nicole said.

"For the good of the universe itself, please don`t find an official job. There are things that should never happen in Elmore that is one of them. I`m telling you this, if you find an official job the universe would be destroyed completely." Nicole`s father said warningly. His face is stone cold and he is not joking around, the whole family knew that he is not kidding.

"Anyway, I think it`s my turn." He said finally, his expression changed into that of a carefree and nice expression. Gone is the cold and serious look on his face.

"My full name is Bruce Gunderson. I`m the leader of Avalon, a guild in my home world. I`m part time super hero and part time teacher. My likes are everybody in the guild, my family, my friend, good movies, comics, novels, adventures, troubles, illogical and weird things, and pranks. My dislikes are arrogant being, bad guys, anyone who tried to seduce me, cranky teachers, detention, and cheesy romance movies or books." Bruce said, while the boys have stars in their eyes. They both are thinking of how awesome their grandpa is.

"You`re a super hero!?" Both Gumball and Darwin yelled at the same time. While Anais just stared at them with an exasperated look on her face. "Of course he isn`t, he`s just joking around." Anais said, waiting for Bruce to confirm her words. "Right…?" Anais said finally, sounding unsure.

"I`m afraid they both right honey, my father is a super hero. Where do you think I learned those martial arts and super powers?" Nicole said to Anais who just stared at Bruce in disbelief.

"All right let me continue, my dreams for the future is… a secret." Bruce said, ending his introduction.

"Well now that we`re all acquainted with each other, we can all start do what we normally do and wait for another disaster." Nicole said, grabbing Bruce`s hand and led him upstairs.

"I saw your eye signal, what do you need the computer for?" Nicole asked Bruce after they went upstairs. "I need it for something important and I trust you to control yourself." Bruce said flatly.

They walked together to Gumball`s room. When they get there, Bruce took out a little external hard disk from his pocket. It has the words 50.000 Exabyte carved on the sides and the word 'Intelligent Protection Operating system.'

Bruce plugged it into Gumball and Darwin`s computer and turned it on. "Remember, stay calm and don`t flip out." Bruce said sternly. He stared at the computer screen and waited for it to start.

Finally, the computer started. He saw Gumball, Darwin, and Anais on the wallpaper screen. Then he pressed a button on the hard disk and suddenly the computer goes blank.

From the blankness of the screen, a white half opened camera lens like symbol appeared. The word 'Aperture Laboratories' fades in just below the Aperture Logo.

Bruce stared at the screen in front of him, waiting for it to process the 50.000 Exabyte of data. After a few seconds, the Aperture Science logo and the word Aperture Laboratories disappeared. The screen is blank once again.

Suddenly colors and pixels start flying all around the screen, forming and turning into a teenage girl. She has blackish brown hair, white skin, and crimson red eyes with a white cross in the middle. She wore a blue shirt with white stripped red tie, a red skirt, and a black headphone with an Aperture Science logo on the side of it.

She looked around in confusion, before she noticed Bruce is staring at her through the computer screen. "Hey gramps… How was your day?" she said sheepishly.

"I have a great day! How about your day IPO? You know, after you snuck in to this Hard disk and blackmailed Dave to put you inside my bag?" Bruce said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. The girl could only look down in shame.

"You know what, forget about it. I know this would happen, should`ve known that you wouldn`t want to come with your mother and your aunt to the land of Ooo." Bruce said his voice softened. "Nicole, calm down." Bruce said suddenly to the person behind him.

Meanwhile, Nicole is staring at IPO with hatred. At first she couldn`t believe her eyes when she saw the Aperture Science logo and the words 'Aperture Laboratories' appeared on Gumball`s computer.

Then she felt anger like no other, and the fact that IPO could be her offspring didn`t help at all. She glared at IPO with vengeance in her eyes, while Bruce is talking to her.

'That trice damned, two-faced, homicidal, sadistic, cruel, crazy, stuck-up, arrogant, murderous, lying, rust-bucket! She has a daughter!' Nicole thought to herself.

"Looks like introduction is in order. Nicole, meet your niece IPO. She is the daughter of GLaDOS." Bruce said with a look that said: Be-nice-to-her-or-you-are-grounded-kitten!

"And IPO this is your aunt, Nicole Watterson. She has a… bad history with your mother. So please don`t aggravate her." Bruce said. 'Thank goodness she is still in the computer.' Bruce thought to himself.

"Hello IPO, it is so nice to see you. And I hope that you are NOTHING like your mother." Nicole said with a fake smile and a restrained anger. She tried to get a grip on her emotions, mainly her anger. It didn`t work…

"Hi aunt Nicole, it`s nice to see you too, and I don`t know what do you have against my mother. But I do know that there are hundreds of people from different worlds who hate my mother so… I`m just gonna say I`m sorry." IPO said, hoping that it will calm Nicole down so that she didn`t kill her.

"Let me tell you why…" Nicole started, glaring daggers at IPO. "That thing you call mother took my family away from me." Nicole said threateningly. She walked slowly to the monitor and pressed her face against the screen. Her eyes show no mercy while her body is slowly cracking the screen.

"Seriously, this is the first day I came here after so long. And you have managed to get yourself grounded. Nicole Watterson you are grounded!" Bruce said sternly. He took out a white gun with three claws in the end of and the Aperture Science logo on the sides of it.

Bruce shot the gun right below Nicole`s feet and suddenly a blue portal appeared underneath her. She fell down through the portal and ends up in her room. Before she could do anything, the portal closed.

"Sorry about that IPO. Anyway here`s your orb. I`m gonna talk to her while you should get yourself acquainted with everyone. And if anyone is messing with my bag, I want you to deal with it like a boss." Bruce said, taking a little silver glowing orb from his pocket and put it on top of the CPU.

The orb glowed brightly, covering the whole room in blinding light. After a few seconds, the light dies down, revealing Bruce Gunderson wearing shades and IPO standing in the middle of the room.

"Nice, you are out of that computer. What do you feel?" Bruce said taking off his shades and tried to touch IPO, only to pass through her.

"Well, it works gramps. I`m feeling in control and nobody can touch me." IPO replied. Then she slowly raised her arms and closed her eyes. "Wait a second… no surveillance system? What kind of house is this?!" IPO said to herself.

Bruce shot another portal on a wall nearby. He enters the portal and said "Go and meet your cousins. They`re downstairs, befriend them, and try not to look like a ghost. I already put a field of electric barrier on the floor and stairs so you should be able to walk naturally." Bruce said as the portal closed in a shower of light.

"Okay… let`s see if this world really is the weirdest world ever…" IPO said, walking towards the door. She tried to open the handle, but she just passed through the door and lost her balance.

Now that she`s outside Gumball`s room she tried to touch the walls. She can touch them, but she still phased through doors and cabinets.

She walked downstairs and into the living room. When she got there she saw a sight she would never forget. A blue cat with an oversized head is talking with an orange goldfish with a pair of feet and an obese pink bunny. They all sat on a lengthened sofa while eating a giant bag of cheesy dibbles.

"I should`ve never doubted her in the first place." IPO muttered to herself. She walked to the sofa to greet her cousins and uncle. "Wait a second, how do I greet them in the first place anyway?" IPO thought to herself, looking for a way to introduce herself.

Then she had an idea. Maybe she could stay hidden until her grandpa could introduce her. As long as they`re not doing anything stupid, she can always stay invisible.

Suddenly the cat starts sneaking to the bag near the sofa, while the others just laughed. The cat slowly opened the bag and looked at its contents. He took out a metal cylindrical object and thought it`s just a flashlight.

"Look, a flashlight. I wonder if our grandpa has a super cool gadget hidden inside it." Gumball said, waving the 'flashlight' around. Suddenly he noticed a little button on the object. He was about to press it when suddenly he heard a voice yelled behind him.

"THAT`S A LIGHTSABER YOU DOLT!" IPO yelled in fear. She raised her hand and a drawer suddenly opened and flew right on to Gumball`s hand. It knocked the Lightsaber right off of Gumball`s hand.

In a perfect sync, everyone on the sofa looked behind them, trying to find who just yelled. Like a deer caught in a headlight, IPO could only laugh nervously. 'So much for subtlety.' She thought to herself.

The Watterson just stared at her with their mouth gaping in surprise. They all stared at IPO as if she is a ghost. Suddenly Darwin turned his expression to one of admiration.

Then he broke the silence with one sentence. "She`s beautiful." He said with a dreamy look on his face.

Gumball looked at Darwin disapprovingly. "What my fishy brother meant was… Who are you?" Gumball asked. He looked at IPO`s flickering form and jumps into conclusion.

"AAAAHH, A GHOST!" Richard and Gumball yelled at once. Then Gumball realized something. "Oh wait, our friend Carrie is a ghost too right? She`s not so bad." He said to his dad to calm him down.

"But she just knocked that flashlight out of your hands, with her ghostly powers." Richard said in fear, staring at IPO who kept flickering in embarrassment.

"I`m not a ghost Uncle Richard! I am your niece." IPO said while remembering about her father`s words. "Go and meet your cousins. They`re downstairs, befriend them, and try not to look like a ghost."

"No, you lie! I don`t have a niece! Nicole said so!" Richard said in denial. He glared at IPO before he threw an empty bag of cheesy dibbles at her.

The empty bag flew through the air in slow motion. Everyone hold their breath as the bag flew right towards IPO`s head. She tried to dodge, but to no avail. The bag hit her and simply passes through her.

"AAAAH SHE IS A GHOST!" Richard yelled in fear. He starts running away and barge through a wall right to the backyard, and crash through the fence behind it, and to the Robinson house, before finally pass out in exhaustion.

Sirens blared from the street as Mr. Robinson called the cops. A police car came rolling in towards Mr. Robinson house. From inside of the car, a giant donut walked towards Richard and cuffed him up.

"Is he going to be all right?" IPO asked, looking at Richard who is being carried away by a police officer. "This is the third time this week." The Donut sheriff said as he dragged Richard into a car.

"It`s nothing new really, why did you knocked that flashlight out of my hand anyway?" Gumball replied, looking at his father as he is taken to the prison again.

"That wasn`t a flashlight, that was a Lightsaber." IPO said, looking at the cylindrical object lying down on the floor. She tried to pick it up but it only phased through her.

"What`s a Lightsaber?" Gumball asked, picking it up. "It is a very – very dangerous weapon. So put it back into the bag this instant!" IPO said looking at Gumball and the Lightsaber like a walking time bomb.

"Okay, but you have to show me how it works." Gumball said, smirking in victory, while IPO could only look down in defeat. She tried to find a way for her to show him how to use it without destroying the whole house.

"I don`t trust you, if you can find someone else to wield it then maybe I will reconsider." IPO said, crossing her arms stubbornly.

"Darwin, you are going to replace me." Gumball said, while Darwin just smiled like his dream just come true. "Thank you, my brother." He said with wide eyes and tears of joy brimming in his eyes.

"Okay… but first you have to take out an electrical suit from that bag, the arm bands and shoes only of course. Because I don`t think the armor would fit on you." IPO said, inspecting Darwin`s overall body shape.

Without hesitance, Darwin starts rummaging through the bag, looking for an electric arm bracer, gloves, shoes, and leg bracer. He put on everything while IPO just nodded in satisfied.

"All right, first hold the Lightsaber with both of your fins." IPO said while Darwin held the Lightsaber with both of his fins. His gloves are giving him a much stronger grip.

"No, that`s not steady enough. Here, let me help you." IPO said, holding Darwin`s hand and showed him the proper grip.

'She just held my hands! How in the world did she hold my hand! It`s just so soft and strong at the same time.' Darwin thought to himself. "If you`re wondering how I could touch you, it is because you have an electrical charge inside your body. Now pay attention, this is important." IPO said suddenly before Darwin could say anything.

"There is a switch on the side, and be very – very careful. A blue sword of light will come out of the opening. And I want you to be very careful." IPO said, making sure that Darwin wouldn`t drop the saber.

Darwin gripped the Lightsaber steadily. He closed his eyes and slowly turned it on. An electrical static and a soft hum suddenly came from the saber. Darwin slowly opened his eyes, before he looked at the Lightsaber in awe.

"Whoa… It`s beautiful." Darwin said, waving it around. Suddenly he can`t move a muscle, he tried to look around and saw IPO holding up her arms.

"Beautiful and Dangerous. Now I want you to pay attention on my stances." IPO said. Then she started to move her body, making a few graceful stances while holding a fake holographic Lightsaber in her hands.

Meanwhile, Darwin is staring at her with wide eyes, and starts following her stances. He tried to copy her moves but he is still slipping a little. IPO hold his arms and legs. Then she lead Darwin`s every move, before finally Darwin got a grip on it.

A few minutes later, the training turned into a graceful dance. Darwin would block and slash using his Lightsaber while IPO would dodge and parry his fake attacks.

"You`re better at this than I thought, I wonder how you would fare against grandma Alyce." IPO commented as she gracefully dodged another strike from Darwin. "Thank you, you are very good at this too… For a ghost." Darwin cheekily replied.

After a few rounds, IPO and Darwin heard the sounds of footsteps coming down the stairs. They both froze in fear as they saw Bruce and Nicole staring at them with their arms crossed on their chest.

"A Lightsaber IPO? You teach ten years old fish how to use a Lightsaber?" Bruce said incredulously, with an unreadable expression on his face. "Darwin Watterson I can`t believe you of all people would play around with something like that." Nicole said.

"Darwin Raglan Caspian Ahab Poseidon Nicodemius Watterson III…" Nicole started. "Intelligent Protection Operating system." Bruce continued. "We are…" They both said at the same time, pausing a little for a bit dramatization.

IPO and Darwin looked at each other in defeat. "I say we blame Gumball for this." IPO said. "I agree." Darwin replied. They both braced themselves for whatever their parent and grandpa is about to say to them.

"We are very proud of you all. Keep up the good work and be strong." Nicole said while Bruce just nodded in agreement.

"What? You`re not angry at us?" Darwin asked in disbelief, while IPO just face palmed because of her grandpa`s lack of common sense. "Gramps, we just played around with a weapon that could destroy an entire armada in a single throw! You are supposed to be mad at us." IPO said in frustration.

"Well I`m not an expert of being a bad cop, so I`ll let your mother deal with this. Now I`m gonna have a little chat with my grandson." Bruce replied. He walked towards the sofa and sit right next to Gumball.

"Hey Gumball, tell me are you feeling jealous? Because your face looks a little bit wrinklier than before." Bruce said, staring at Gumball who is watching IPO and Darwin with a hideous frown on his face.

"Why does Darwin have to get all the fun?" Gumball said childishly. He looked at Darwin who is being thought by IPO and Nicole. Even Darwin gets to cut stuff with his saber. It was supposed to be a simple demonstration.

"Because I already knew this would happen. When I came here I brought 5 gifts for each and every one of you. The Lightsaber and the electric suit is my gift for him. That bag is much more than meets the eyes." Bruce said as he moved a little to grab the bag.

He lifted the bag and put it right between him and Gumball. "Now I want you to take one random thing out of the bag." Bruce said while Gumball just looked at the bag in curiosity.

"So let me get this straight, you want me to take one random potentially dangerous item from your bag and I can keep it? Even though the thing is a Weapon of Mass Destruction?" Gumball asked, thinking that it is too good to be true.

"Yes." Bruce replied without hesitance.

"Okay." Gumball said, smiling happily as he put his hand into the bag. After a few seconds of digging around, he finally found something interesting. He took it out, revealing a little box with the words 'Aperture Science Technology.' And the Aperture Science logo imprinted on it.

"Okay so I got this not so impressive cube from your bag. There`s no taking back isn`t?" Gumball said, looking down in shame because of how lame his gift is compared to Darwin.

"Hey, that`s a pretty cool thing you got there. It can be anything it has scanned. Sure there are still a few limitations here and there, but this thing beats that puny Lightsaber in a landslide." Bruce said, cheering Gumball up.

"Really, how does this work?" Gumball said, smiling in victory once again. He took a closer look at the box.

The box is grey, it is the size of his palms, and about as heavy as an apple. There are glowing whitish blue lines all over the cube and a button on the left and right side of the cube, just below the Aperture logo.

"The first thing you have to do is… press the Aperture Science logo." Bruce said, while pointing at the half-closed camera lens shaped thing.

Without thinking twice, Gumball pressed his palms to the Aperture Science logo. The box shuddered for a few seconds, before suddenly it opened, revealing a pulsating blue energy. The casing around the energy grab hold of Gumball`s hand and seemingly tried to eat his hand.

"AAAH GET IT OFF – GET IT OFF!" Gumball yelled in panic and pain. He felt his hand being torn apart and burned to pieces, his nerves are screaming for mercy. He is in so much pain that his own brain climbs off his ear. "I didn`t sign up for this pain, I`m outta here!" Gumball`s brain said.

The chain reaction Gumball`s yelling caused is impressive.

First Darwin gets caught off guard by Gumball`s yelling, making him unable to dodge a strike from IPO.

Then IPO couldn`t stop herself as she slashed her blade at Darwin, forgetting that her Lightsaber is just a Hologram.

This make IPO panic and tried to redirect the attack to Nicole. Instinctively, Nicole dodged the redirected attack and makes a counter attack which missed IPO completely and headed straight at Darwin, this time with a real Lightsaber.

Darwin blocked the attack but it was too strong that his Lightsaber got knocked out of his hand and flew through the air, and heading straight towards Bruce.

Bruce saw the attack coming and batted away the Lightsaber with his bare hands like it was nothing.

The Lightsaber flew towards a wall and broke through it. Then suddenly the Lightsaber flew back to Darwin`s hand, only missing Gumball`s neck by a hair length.

"The force is strong in this one…" Nicole said suddenly after she saw Darwin summons the Lightsaber back to his hands without even knowing what force is.

"Wow, you have a very powerful heart and soul Gumball. Your bond with this cube is unbreakable." Bruce said after he saw the cube turned into a watch with an Aperture Science logo in the middle of it.

"Yeah, and it hurts so much!" Gumball said, rubbing his arms in pain. He saw his brain climbed back into his head while Bruce just stared at Gumball in disbelief.

"You just took the word 'Brainless' to the next level." Bruce said, still staring at Gumball who is not at all bothered that his brain just climbed off his own head and talk.

Gumball accidently pressed a button on the watch and suddenly a hologram of a red neat looking gun appeared in front of him.

"And it looks like you`ve found out the next step, choosing your weapon." Bruce said. He waved his arms in front of the holographic gun and it turned into a portal gun. Then he waved it again and it turned into a white spherical thing with red eyes and 3 claw shaped legs for its support.

"There, try waving your arms around to choose your weapon." Bruce said, letting Gumball to choose his own weapon. "Press the Aperture Science logo when you`re done.

Gumball waved his hand. He realized that the only thing he could chose is The Portal Gun, the red gun, and the red eyed robot. He wondered how to get more, but first he only needs to do one thing.

He slammed his palm to the Aperture logo. Suddenly a flash of white light appeared from the watch. When it died down, he found himself holding the same red gun he saw on the hologram.

"Awesome! What is this!? A ray gun? No wait, this is a plasma gun right? This is so cool!" Gumball said excitedly like a child on Christmas morning. He gripped the gun tighter. He felt two trigger on the gun. He aimed the gun at a table and pulled the first trigger.

The table got blown off by an invisible force. It flew through the air and crashed through the TV. Then Gumball pulled the second trigger and the table got attracted by an invisible force and suspended in the air in front of him.

"What you are holding right now is a The Zero Point Energy Field Manipulator, or for short The Gravity gun. This gun can repel and attract an object using the power of Gravity." Bruce explained while Gumball is staring at it with wide eyes.

"How do I turn this thing back into a watch then?" Gumball asked wanting to try the other gun and the robot.

"Just snap your finger or press the Aperture Science logo on your wrist to summon it back into a watch." Bruce replied.

Gumball tried to snap his fingers, but he couldn`t do it. So he sticks with the alternative and press the Aperture Science logo etched in his arms.

The Gravity Gun got pixelated and flew to his wrist. Then it turned back into a watch. "So, awesome…" Gumball said in amazement. He looked at Bruce who just smirked at him.

Without thinking straight, Gumball lunged at his grandfather and hugged him as tightly as possible. "You are the best grandpa ever!" Gumball whispered in joy.

"Thank you Gumball, now I want you to play with your gift while I talk to your mother." Bruce said, rising from his seat and walked towards Nicole.

"Don`t worry grandpa, I will!" Gumball said, fiddling around with a portal gun. He shot a portal to Mr. Robinson house and to the floor beneath him.

"HAHAHA I am untouchable!" Gumball laughed as he leapt into Mr. Robinson`s house. He looked around before he shot another portal in the middle of the street. He jumps back to the portal and appeared on the middle of the street, surprising nearby people and makes a huge traffic accident.

And so, the city of Elmore is being terrorized by a blue cat that just keeps disappearing before the cops could get him. Of course he didn`t do any crimes besides making a huge amount of collateral damage and traffic accident.

Nobody have any idea how someone could jump into a hole and appeared on the highest building in Elmore. The only clue they had is the gun he is holding on and the fact that the culprit is Gumball Watterson.


Meanwhile at the Watterson residence Nicole is teaching Darwin the path of the Jedi, with Bruce`s intrusion of course. Bruce have to modify the way so that it wouldn`t have too much of an impact on Darwin`s life. Now Darwin should be able to learn how to be a Jedi without closing up his emotions.

"Remember, when you use the force, you must never be too angry. Or the result might be catastrophic." Nicole said as Darwin sat cross legged on the floor.

"Keep meditating, and when you think you`ve found the force all around you, tell me. IPO here will assist you." Nicole said while Darwin just smiled brightly with his eyes closed after he knew that IPO would be right beside him.

"Okay Mrs. Mom." Darwin replied, trying to feel the force all around him.

"Dad, we need to talk." Nicole said. "About what?" Bruce innocently replied. He looked at his daughter for a while before saying. "Gumball has a potential like no other. Except for Steve of course but, you know what I mean."

"You gave him an ASHPD. That`s just a recipe for disaster. I mean he could appear in the news anytime now." Nicole said worriedly, frowning at Bruce who has that same careless smile on his face.

"And you teach his brother the way of the Jedi. Isn`t that a little bit overkill for a goldfish?" Bruce retorted. "And I didn`t gave Gumball a portal gun, I gave him my Cube of Possibility. You know, so that he wouldn`t get beaten that easily by his brother." Bruce added in, not noticing Nicole`s face who just get paler and paler.

"You gave that cube to my son! How strong is the bond? Is it above 60%?" Nicole said, panicking already. She thought about what may happen if her son abuses its power.

"It`s 100% his heart and soul is just so powerful that he could think without his brain… literally." Bruce said, remembering Gumball`s brain jumps out from his ear to wait for the pain from the cube to stop.

"I can`t believe it, my own son… He is so grounded." Nicole said, chuckling a little. Thinking about his potential powers and the future of Elmore.

"IPO, I think we should stop the training and start the cleanup act!" Bruce said, looking at IPO and Darwin who sat right next to each other. Meditating to feel the force around him.

Bruce and Nicole watched in amazement after they saw the house moved by itself and repairing everything. The scorch marks from the Lightsaber training slowly molded by itself. The table and the TV that got wrecked by Gumball`s gravity gun demonstration repaired itself.

All damages reversed and everything is back to normal. Nicole couldn`t help but feeling so proud of Darwin that she doesn`t even think twice about Darwin spending time with GLaDOS`s daughter.

"Well, it seems that Darwin is powerful enough to communicate with the force itself and not just guiding it like anyone else would." Bruce said, feeling proud with his grandchildren. And not just the one at the house, but the one who's wreaking havoc outside the house too.

After everything is cleaned, IPO and Darwin opened their eyes. They both looked at each other and smiled. "It worked, that dimwitted idea of yours worked." IPO said, smiling brightly at Darwin.

"Yeah well, Gumball always does that when he got a detention. Maybe the force itself is like a very old teacher. And old teachers are cranky and easy to be annoyed." Darwin replied, innocently. While IPO just stared at him in amazement.

"But you just annoy the hell out of the force itself and make them do whatever you want! How is that even possible? You just ask me to stop listening to make sure I don`t get crazy." IPO asked curiously. Wondering what did Darwin do to annoy the force itself to submission?

"It`s easy, I just sing a song." Darwin replied, taking a deep breath to start singing.

"Everybody grab an earplug!" Nicole yelled, while Bruce gave each and every one of them a pair of earplug.

I know a song that gets on everybody`s nerves

Everybody`s nerves, everybody`s nerves

I know a song that gets on everybody`s nerves

And this is how it goes.

I know a song that gets on everybody`s nerves

Everybody`s nerves, everybody`s nerves

I know a song that gets on everybody`s nerves

And this is how it goes.

I know a song that`s very annoying

Very annoying, very annoying

I know a song that`s very annoying

I will never shut up

I know a song that gets on everybody`s nerves

Everybody`s nerves, everybody`s nerves

I know a song that gets on everybody`s nerves

And this is how it goes.

I know a song that gets on everybody`s nerves

Everybody`s nerves, everybody`s nerves

I know a song that gets on everybody`s nerves

And this is how it goes.

I know a song that`s very annoying

Very annoying, very annoying

I know a song that`s very annoying

I will never shut up

And Darwin just keeps repeating that song over and over again, while Bruce creates a vacuum bubble so that he and Nicole can talk normally with each other.

Meanwhile, IPO is trying to find a way to shut him up. She tried to remember everything about shutting people up without hurting them.

Then she remembers a time back in the guild where Joy is having a sugar rush and she just can`t shut up. Not even GLaDOS could shut her up, until Steve arrived from a mission and give her a quick peck on the cheek to shut her up.

It worked; Joy just blushed in embarrassment and stop being too hyperactive.

"Well here goes nothing." IPO said, walking towards Darwin. "I know a song that`s ve-" Darwin`s song was cut off when IPO suddenly gave him a quick peck on the cheek.

Darwin`s expression turned dreamy and filled with love. He can`t comprehend what he is feeling right now. All he felt is that the world is beautiful, he never felt sad, and everything is a blessing. "Everything is so clear now…" Darwin whispered to himself.

He dropped unconscious on the floor with a smile on his face.

"IPO, I think that`s a little bit too much. You know that he likes you right?" Bruce said, taking down the vacuum bubble where he and Nicole talked with each other.

"Yes, I do know. I think he`s cute." IPO replied without hesitating.

Without warning, Nicole dropped unconscious. Her expression is that of a shocked one. "Why Darwin, why?" Nicole thought to herself.


Meanwhile in Elmore Prison…

Richard Watterson is sitting on a prison chair. He looked at the other prisoners in front of him in fear. The prisoners in front of him are a giant green goblin wearing rags and a black fingerprint wearing a face mask.

They both stared at Richard with a frown on their faces. "Um hi guys!" Richard tried to say. They all just stayed silent in response.

Suddenly the prison door flew open, revealing Gumball who has his hands cuffed behind his back. "Hey dad, how are you doing?" Gumball asked while Richard just stared at him in salvation.

"Hooray, you`re here to bail me out right!" Richard said excitedly. "Not this time dad, we have to wait for mom to get here." Gumball replied sadly as he sat right next to his father, trying to reach for his cube/watch of possibilities to turn it into a portal gun.

"Just a little bit more…" Gumball said, barely touching his watch. But to no avail, he couldn`t press any button on it. "Forget about it, tonight we sleep here." Gumball said in defeat.

AN: What do you think everyone? If you`re thinking about the OC, I am actually doing what the creator of The Amazing World of Gumball did. Most of the characters in the show are actually rejected commercial mascot. IPO is actually a failed internet... character? I think, I dunno. Just search her up and picture her younger. she is usually called Ipo chan. Search for her, in google maybe?

And if you`re wondering how the most annoying song in the world could annoy the force itself, just remember the force in every world is different. So Darwin wouldn`t be able to use the force outside the Amazing World of Gumball universe.

Please don`t be mad at me for making this some kind of a massive crossover. Bruce and IPO will be the ONLY OC in this story.
